Careers Education & Guidance

We want our students to be as well prepared and informed about the world of careers and the labour market as we can.

Adeyfield provides a high quality support and guidance for all students about the world of work, employment and training opportunities available to them.

Our programme is based on fully implementing the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks of good careers advice:

A stable careers programme

Learning from career and labour market information

Addressing needs of each pupil

Linking curriculum learning to careers

Encounters with employers and employees

Experiences of the workplaces

Encounters with further and higher education

Personal guidance

Our programme is delivered through designated PHSEE lessons, curriculum drop down days, employer engagement events, Work Shadowing and Work Experience, visiting speakers and work place visits.

All students have access to our Herts YC advisor, with targeted appointments for students in Years 10, 11 and Sixth Form. Parents and carers are welcome to attend these appointments with their child.

To enhance our provision we also work closely with the Careers and Enterprise Company and an Enterprise Advisor who review the Careers, Employability and Enterprise provision provided to ensure we are fully meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks.

The dedicated careers office has all the information you need to find out about GCSE courses, Sixth form options, courses at college, Apprenticeship opportunities, University prospectus’, and job opportunities.

If you would like to assist with a careers event or to share your own career journey with our students please contact us by emailing admin@adeyfield.herts.sch.uk for the attention of Naomi Walker.
